Oahu
What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.
Since we took the bus, it was a bit of a long journey, but we were able to spend a very relaxing day. The hula lesson and craft experience were just for us, so it felt almost like a private lesson. The craft experience with the tea leaf lei work was fun, and the hula was taught with great care, which made me happy. The spacious grounds were pleasant, and the planetarium had interesting explanations. The guide in the museum provided thorough explanations as we toured the exhibits, allowing us to learn about Hawaiian culture.
THE BUSで出向いたので少し遠い道のりでしたが、とてもゆったりと一日過ごすことが出来ました。
フラレッスンもクラフト体験も私達だけでしたからほぼプライベートレッスン状態でした。
クラフト体験のティーリーフのレイワークも楽しかったし、フラは丁寧に教えて下さったし、嬉しかったです。
広い敷地内で気持ち良く、プラネタリウムでは興味深い説明で、博物館内も案内の方がしっかり説明して展示物を回ってくださるのでハワイの文化を知ることができました。
We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!
The service was excellent, and the food, especially the truffle mashed potatoes, was delicious. The show was lively and enjoyable, with many non-Japanese audience members present.
サービスはとても良く、食事は特にトリュフ入りのマッシュポテトが美味でした。
ショーは観客にたくさんの日本人以外の方がいらっしゃったので盛り上がり楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely hope that you will visit us again when you come to Hawaii.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どももとても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、是非ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお持ち申し上げます。
Last year, I attended the "VIP Dinner & Cocktail Show," and both the food and the show were excellent, so I was determined to end my last night in Oahu here. This year, I upgraded to the "Green Room & Dinner Show." Unexpectedly, I was able to participate through a monitor tour.
Before entering the venue, I handed over my voucher at the reception and received a neck strap pass. At that moment, I felt like Cinderella. A charming and elegant prince guided us to the Green Room. There was drink service, but there wasn't much time to relax and enjoy. On that day, there were three other participants besides us. We sat on the white sofa indoors and took some photos.
After that, we were guided through the stage setup, lighting, costumes, props, and dressing rooms with clear explanations. I felt like a star on the empty stage and took a snapshot there too! Thanks to the backstage tour, I found the show I usually watch casually even more interesting, with quick costume changes and surfboards crossing the stage.
The dinner featured tender steak and mashed potatoes, which were delicious. The tasty bread was available for seconds. The salmon and lobster had a slightly fishy taste. The dessert was quite sweet, but it paired perfectly with the coffee.
The show featured Elvis, Michael, and Little Richard. Since I had familiarized myself with the lyrics beforehand, I was even more moved than last time. The dancers, including those performing Tahitian hula, delivered sharp performances that transported me to a dream! Especially the fire dancer's powerful and beautiful dance is something words can't express. You must experience it for yourself.
昨年参加した≪VIPディナー&カクテルショー≫が食事、ショー共に内容がとても良かったので、オアフ最後の夜は絶対ここで締めようと思っていました。
今年は≪グリーンルーム&ディナーショー≫にグレードアップ。思いがけずモニターツアーで参加出来ました。
会場に入る前に受付でバウチャーを渡し、ネックストラップのパスを受け取ります。この瞬間からシンデレラに変身?上品で素敵な王子様がグリーンルームに案内してくれます。ドリンクのサービスが有りますが、のんびり楽しむ程の時間はありません。当日は私達の他に3人の参加が有りました。室内の白いソファに腰掛け写真を撮ってもらいました。
その後、舞台装置や照明、衣装、小道具、楽屋などを分かりやすい説明を交え案内してくれました。まだ誰もいない舞台でスターになった気分でここでもパチリ!スターの早変わりや舞台を横切るサーフボードなどバックステージツアーのおかげで普段何気なく見ているショーが一層、面白く感じました。
ディナーの柔らかいステーキとマッシュポテトが美味しい。これまた美味しいパンはおかわり
できます。サーモンとロブスターは少し生臭い気がしました。デザートはかなり甘いのですが
珈琲とベストマッチです。
エルビス・マイケル・リトルリチャード3人のショーでした。前もって代表的な歌詞の内容を把握して行ったので、前回以上に感激しました。
タヒチアンフラを含めダンサー達の切れの良いパフォーマンスにしばし夢の中!特にファイアーダンサーの力強く美しいダンスはとても口では表現できません。是非ご自身で感じてください。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We truly appreciate your wonderful comments. We are also very pleased. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度は、ご来場頂き、誠にありがとうございます。とても素敵なコメントをありがとうございました。私どもも、大変嬉しくおもっております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、是非ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しあげます。
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente
I got bored during the show.
There wasn't much to eat. If you miss the first round, there's nothing left.
The seating is arranged in two rows in a U-shape with the stage in the center. The front row seems to be reserved for guests, so you can't sit there even if you arrive early.
You have to wait until the people in the front row finish before you can go to the buffet.
It's expensive for what you get, but since it's the Hilton, I suppose that's to be expected.
It became a memorable family trip.
ショーは途中で飽きちゃいました。
食事は食べるのもがあまりない。最初に取り損ねるともうありません。
席は2列でコの字でステージが中央にある。前列は宿泊者専用なのか早くても座れません。
バイキングの取りに行く順番も前列の席の人が終わってからじゃないといけません。
値段の割には高いですがヒルトンなので仕方が無いと思います。
家族旅行の記念にはなりました。
I made a reservation because I wanted to see hula (since it feels like Hawaii). The food was quite delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Additionally, it was fun to see various Polynesian dances, not just hula. The Tahitian performance was the most exciting, and my dad was invited on stage to dance, which made for a fun experience. Since we chose the standard seating, the stage was a bit far, but they danced facing different directions, so it was enjoyable even from the side. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth the cost.
フラが見たくて(ハワイっぽいから)予約しました。食事も結構美味しかったし、雰囲気も良かった。それに、フラだけではなくポリネシアンのいろいろなダンスが見られて楽しかった。タヒチは一番盛り上がり、うちのパパは誘われてステージにあがって踊らされ、楽しく過ごせた。スタンダードにしたのでステージは少し遠かったけど、いろいろな方向を向いてダンスしてくれていたので正面じゃなくても楽しめる内容だった。少し割高だけど、値段だけのことはあると思いました。
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable El servicio y la comida excelentes y no se diga los tragos recomendado 100%
The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.
Overall we had a good time at the Luau. I felt the food was pretty good with the exception of the fish not being cooked enough but the wife felt the food was lacking a fair bit. The show was very enjoyable and entertaining. Met some great folks at the table with us and overall really enjoyed the show.
Wonderful food, entertainment. Loved the dancing afterwards. Friendly crew, my daughter said our waiter Chad was a 'hottie'.
I had decided during my last trip that I would definitely go see this next time, and my wish came true. The newlyweds who joined us were friendly and refreshing, which was great.
As for the show, perhaps my expectations were too high... ^^; Michael Jackson was amazing, but I thought Elvis could have been even more over-the-top.
I believe there was an announcement that photography was allowed as long as no flash was used, but I was taking pictures without flash and was still told off by a staff member. I wonder why that happened?
前回の旅行時点で次は絶対見に行こうと決めていて念願がかないました。
同席した新婚さんも気さくで爽やかな方達で良かったです。
ショーの感想ですが期待が大きすぎたせいか・・・^^;
マイケル・ジャクソンは素晴らしかったですがエルビスはもっとオーバーアクションでも良かったと思いました。
フラッシュを使わなければ撮影OKとアナウンスがあったと思いましたが、フラッシュ無しで撮影してたのに係の人に注意されましたが何故でしょう?
Thank you very much for visiting us. I apologize for the issue regarding the photos. I will report this to the person in charge and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. I am truly sorry.
この度は、ご来場頂き、誠にありがとうございます。お写真の件、申し訳ございません。責任者の報告し、今後このような事がないように致します。本当に申し訳ございませんでした。
My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The crew were attentive, and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely do this again. Date night!
My entire family including my dad and sister's children really enjoyed the dinner. It was good start for our family trip in Hawaii.
This is an excellent idea and I'd highly recommend the lei greeting! As promised, the representative was waiting just outside our gate with our leis. The hospitality didn't end there as our rep walked with us to baggage claim, secured a porter for us and then found our hotel transfer van for us. She waited with us until we were on the van to our hotel. She would not accept a tip saying it was her pleasure to help. The leis come with a gift bag containing chocolates and care instructions for the leis. We kept ours in our hotel refrigerator and after 12 days we were able to take them home to show others....they still were beautiful and fragrant!
I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.
I participated because I wanted my parents, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, to experience what Hawaii has to offer. Starting with traditional hula, the spectacular fire show was breathtaking, and my parents were thrilled. I definitely recommend participating in the premium seating. You can really see everything up close!
The meal was served buffet-style, and we all lined up together to serve ourselves. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and they were very colorful. For drinks, I exchanged the drink tickets I received at the reception at the bar, but friendly waiters also came around to take orders at our seats.
I considered the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we had a great time here. Given the location and the food, I think I would choose this place again for my next visit.
ハワイは初めての両親に、ザ・ハワイなるものを体験してほしいと思い参加しました。
伝統的なフラから始まり、大迫力のファイヤーショーは圧巻で両親は大喜び。
是非、プレミアムシートでの参加をお薦めします。本当に目の前で見られます!
お食事はブッフェ方式で、みんなで仲良く一列に並び順番に取り分けて食べました。
ハワイアン料理がたくさんあり、とても鮮やかでした。
ドリンクは受付時に貰ったドリンクチケットと交換でバーでオーダーしましたが、お席へも気さくなウェイターさんが聞きに来てくれます。
ポリネシアンセンターのルアウと悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。やはり立地・お食事共に次回も参加するならこちらかなと思います。
This is the only luau I have attended, but I can't imagine one being more enjoyable than this one. The pick-up service was right on time at the scheduled location and the drive over to Sea Life Park was quick considering the time of departure. The pre-dinner activities were fun and I picked up a piece of local artwork from a vendor that has become my favorite Hawaiian collectible. Dinner was very good and I'm still thinking of how yummy the coconut cake was! Chief was very entertaining and the other performers really put their native pride into the show. I would certainly recommend this luau experience!
The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!
I attended a luau show. Since I had made a reservation here, the process was smooth. The show itself was average, and the food was also average at the buffet. I think it's a good option to reserve with peace of mind and see it at least once.
ルアウショーを見てきました。
こちらで予約していたので、手続きはスムーズでした。
ショー自体は普通、食べ物もビュッフェで普通でした。
安心して予約して、一度見るにはいいのかなと思います。
My kids and I found it to be a fun and learning experience. To learn about all the different Polynesian people in that kind of setting was great. The food and the show was wonderful.
Michael Jackson and others were incredibly fun, and I seriously want to see a real show in Las Vegas or New York‼️ A high-scoring show!
マイケルジャクソンなど大変にたのしくて、ラスベガスかNYで本場のショーを本気で見たくなりました‼️
高得点ショー
Thank you for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii, from all of our staff.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、ありがとうございます。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I am a native Hawaiian so I know my way around a luau. I was home visiting family and decided to take my wife and kids to Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii. I must say it was THE BEST luau I have ever been to. The food was excellent as I usually go to a luau for the food first and show second. The show was even better as Chief was the perfect showman with talent to burn. Speaking of burn, the fire dancers were simply AMAZING!! The entire show was dazzling as each Polynesian country were represented in true artistry. What an amazing show with some of the most delicious authentic Hawaiian food I have ever tasted. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that there was no haupia for dessert.
I participated on my last night in Hawaii. I was torn between the Polynesian Center and Hilton, but considering the fatigue of my elderly parents, I chose Hilton. I also considered Golden Circle, but I was glad I chose Hilton since we arrived a bit late and still got pretty good seats. The show was decent (the Polynesian show I saw in Guam might have been better…). However, it was only in English, so I didn’t understand the talk very well. The meal was a buffet, and the flavors suited Japanese tastes, so I felt comfortable eating everything. It included two drinks, and the price seemed reasonable. Overall, it was very good.
ハワイ最後の夜に参加しました。ポリネシアセンターと迷いましたが、高齢の両親と一緒なので
移動の疲れを考えてヒルトンにしました。ゴールデンサークルも迷ったけど、少し遅れて到着しても結構良い席だったので選んでよかったです。ショーはそこそこよかったです(グアムで見たポリネシアンショーの方がよかったかも…)ただ英語オンリーなのでトークはよくわかりませんでした。食事はブッフェですが、日本人の口に合う味でどの料理も安心して食べられました。
2ドリンク付きだし、価格はこんなものでしょうか。総合的にとてもよかったです。
Fantastic. We were made to feel Welcome to the Beautiful Island. The presentation
was very authentic performed with passion. We really felt as if The Chief had gathered
the best of the best to reflect the special times of island life. The venue is the perfect
size and the interaction during the Meet & Greet time with games and conversation
could only be described as welcomed interaction.
Thank You for the pride of heritage and reality in which all was presented.
Gorgeous view of the bay behind the Stage complimented the performance of these
proud islanders.
Thank You
One of the best experiences we had during our visit and made for a very memorable 20th anniversary!
A little background: party was my wife and I, both 30 y/o. We attended this show with the green room and dinner package. The green room and backstage tour portion of the package was underwhelming and really quite boring. One note is that we took a souvenir picture with "Michael Jackson" which was given to us as part of the package as compared to others at the show who had to pay $25 for it. The tour consisted of us, two other couples, and someone who runs the show guiding us around backstage and sharing different behind the scenes info as well as showing us other bits of the production. After that it went to the dinner portion which was held in front of the stage for the hour preceding the show. The food included lobster first course, steak and fish second with veggies and mashed potatoes, then dessert and coffee, all wrapping up before the show started. The food was quite good, especially the steak (tenderloin if I remember correctly). The show, though a little corny, was quite good overall and definitely entertaining. I did not really care for the Lady Gaga portion but the Elvis and Michael Jackson was good overall as well as the fire dancer. One plus of the package was the seating given was right by the stage which gave a small opportunity for the performers to come down and interact with us (not much but a quick appearance) which made it nice when "Elvis" gave my wife his scarf. Overall the night itself was entertaining and the food was good, making the package worth what we paid.
I participated on the first day I arrived in Hawaii. They were inviting people to the Golden Circle seats in order of arrival, so if you want to be in the front row, it might be best to arrive early and line up. You could get food from the people at your table, but there was quite a time difference between the first person who went to the buffet and the last person. The finale of the show featured a breathtaking fire dance.
ハワイに着いた初日に参加させてもらいました。ゴールデンサークル席も、早く着いた人からどんどん席に招待してくれていたので、最前列がよければ早く行って並んでいたほうがいいかもしれません。料理は席の人から取りにいくことができたのですが、はじめにビュッフェに行った人と最後の人とでは、だいぶ時間差がありました。ショーの最後はファイヤーダンスで圧巻のダンスでした。
Ashley, made this a most welcoming experience, took time to get to know us and gave a brief overview of the history of the Lei greeting.
